{Fit and Strong Day 4}: Strong Shoulders

The shoulder muscles are what we call the deltoids, composed of the anterior, posterior, and lateral muscle fibers. I think that it is important to have strong shoulder muscles because these are what support our arms, and we do a lot with our arms, right? Swimmers need strong shoulders for propulsion. Runners (like me) also benefit from strong shoulders even if running is more of leg work, as strong shoulders promote good posture. Have you ever seen a good runner with a bad posture? I didn't think so. Most athletic activities depend on strong shoulders for better performance, such as in martial arts and boxing, to name a few.

I have chosen here three favorite shoulder workouts, the ones that use dumbbells. I think I'm going to try these, right now. Care to join me?

I like exercises with the shoulders... BUT, first, I have to start out exercising.... wanted to start, but always delaying. Now, with the Zamboanga Crisis, the Zumba classes stopped because everyone wants OR needs to go home early!

Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit this site. This is basically a blog about my personal journey towards better health as I try to hold hypertension at bay, or possibly reverse the condition. Towards the end of 2011, I started taking health and wellness more seriously, something I should have done decades ago. It's never too late to start and I know I have a long way to go. I hope you'll journey with me...better yet, run with me. It's one of the things I enjoy doing at the moment and you'll see a lot of my running escapades here.

To good health!!!
